“Doesn’t seem like 11 years… In so many ways, you still feel like a new beginning to me,” the actor captioned the candid shots, beginning a heartfelt tribute. “We’ve been through so much life already, through so many phases of consciousness and personal evolution… and the growth continues!”
“I realized that today marks a day I can no longer say, ‘Last year was brutal…’ From anniversary to anniversary, our lives have transformed into something neither of us could’ve predicted… but both would have 100% chosen,” he continued.

“So happy to be on the cutting edge of realization with you,@vanderkimberlyThere’s no one I’d rather begin anew with, grow old with, or just lay around in bed with (on the rare occasion we get to do that),” he added. “I love you.#HappyAnniversary❤️.”
Kimberly shared her own anniversary shoutout to her husband onInstagram, posting the a similar selfie before floral wallpaper that James began his two-part carousel with.
James and Kimberly, who wed in 2010,moved their family from Los Angeles to Texasearlier this year and have been chronicling their life down south on Instagram with their five children: sonJoshua, 9, and daughtersGwendolyn, 3,Emilia, 5,Annabel, 7, andOlivia, 10.
In a recent interview withAustin Lifemagazine, James said he inspired to move his brood to the Texas city after visiting for an earlier anniversary celebration with Kimberly.
“We wanted to get the kids out of Los Angeles. We wanted to give them space and we wanted them to live in nature,” he told the outlet. “When we were flying here for our anniversary, I felt an energy to Austin. The energy was the same energy that I’d felt shootingVarsity Blueshere when I was 21, and I realized that feeling wasn’t just where I was in my career or the movie I was shooting, all of which were very exciting, but that the energy is the place. It was really cool to realize, ‘Oh, I can go be there. We can drop in and bring our family to that.’ "

“My life was on the line,” Kimberly toldPEOPLEin May. “What saved my life was blood transfusions, people who donated blood. Without them, I probably would not be here.”
“Kimberly, you astound me. Your bravery, your tenderness, and your unwillingness to settle for anything less than what can and ought to be,” he added. “You’re the best human I know.”
